Association of Virulence Genes with Antibiotic Resistance in Pakistani Uropathogenic Isolates.

Background: Escherichia coli various strains can cause alarmingly serious infections. Countries like Pakistan harbour the class of bacteria with one of the highest rates of resistance, but very little has been done to explore their genetic pool.

Objectives: This study was designed to find out the frequency of virulence genes of Uropathogenic E.
